the net leak rate from the part under test is measured. 

When switched to Stand-by / Vent again a new internal background is cal-
culated after 25 s. The updated value is underlined. This means that if you
press START when the value is underlined, the actual background signal
will be subtracted. If you press START when the value is not underlined,
the old background signal from the last Stand-by will be subtracted.
